You were there during the 2008 European Soccer Championships, that's why a lot of bars and houses were decorated with orange colored items. To show support to the Dutch national soccer team. Looks like you had a great time! Greets for the Netherlands, Benjamin Orange is not the color of Amsterdam, but the national color of the Netherlands.

Along side the red/white/blue national flag, orange is the national color of the Netherlands (Royal Family of Orange ('Oranje' in Dutch, specifically), what you saw in the streets was what was left of the decorations for the Euro 2008 Football Championships (in which we were kicked out in the quarter finals). Take care. Glad you are enjoying yourself in my home town, but that’s a no brainer :).
